As people age -- even younger patients who exercise a lot or are on their feet all day -- develop clusters of tiny blood vessels called spider veins on the surface of the skin that can be unsightly. They can be red, blue, or purple and found on the face or body (mostly legs). Treatments include sclerotherapy and lasers, Sclerotherapy involves mini injections that creates irritation and inflammation within the vein, leading it to clot and close and disappear over a series of time. 💫

Back in clinic today and my feet are finally touching the ground after the most wonderful weekend. Thank you for all your lovely wishes ☺️ My skin behaved itself 👌🏻, the weather didn’t however ❄️☃️⛄️🌬 but we had the BEST wedding day imaginable anyway 💍🥂
Thanks to @drybylondon @katekerrlondon_facialist @vivis_makeup @mirrormirrorcouture @pronovias for getting me ready for the big day. You are all fabulous 🎉

The traditional face of medicine is changing. More women and minority students are choosing to become doctors. Female physicians can influence field of medicine by bringing a different perspective. Minority physicians can bring a unique cultural awareness. Furthermore, minority physicians are more likely to enter academia and conduct research to improve healthcare disparity. In this multi-cultural society, having a diverse physician workforce is essential to the wellbeing of our country. (I really hope to match more minority #residents into our program!) I would love to learn about what your future endeavors are in medicine.

Wondering how to 'plump up the volume' with a lip balm? I talked with @redbookmag: "hyaluronic acid - the same ingredient that's in lip injections administered by a dermatologist - can give lips volume and definition when applied topically, too, albeit temporarily." I recommend hydrating balms over irritant formulations with ingredients like cinnamon. For dry lips in the wintry weather, look for moisturizing vetegtable-based oils on the ingredient list: these will absorb in to soothe skin, as compared to blends that feature predominantly waxes which will only sit on the surface. {always fun to contribute to your articles, @laurenbalsamo!} #beauty#instabeauty#beautycare#beautytips#dermatology#dermatologist#lipbalm#lips#cosmetics#redbook#magazine

WORK IT WEDNESDAY !!! 💉Kybella injections for sub-mental fat!!! 💉Kybella is a non-surgical injectable for reducing moderate to severe sub-mental fat, the area commonly known as a "double chin" ! The injection contains a naturally occurring substance in the body, deoxycholic acid, which is a cytolytic agent that causes lysis of the adipocytes—the permanent destruction of the fat cells! Once destroyed, those cells cannot store or accumulate fat.
💉.
In the video you can see we are injecting exactly 0.2mL of Kybella spaced 1 cm apart until all sites in the planned treatment area have been injected.
💉.
Multiple treatments might be needed to reach optimal results, and the number of treatment sessions necessary varies for each person. You can receive up to six Kybella treatments, with at least one month between each session. (In my opinion most people end up needing 2-4 treatments.)
💉.
After the procedure, the primary side effect you will notice is swelling. The amount of swelling experienced after Kybella injections varies from person to person. Typically the swelling is worse after the first treatment and lasts longer. I find that with each subsequent treatment, the swelling gets less and goes away faster. After the first set of injections, the swelling can last from three days to three weeks. Thanks for watching and reading ! DM me with any questions ! Much love ♥️
